“…The results of this study that physical inactivity was associated with alteration on HDL-C were previously verified in different populations. In this way seems to have a consensus about the health protector effect of practicing physical activity and the inverse relation is also true [ 2 , 3 , 5 , 6 ].…”

“…Otherwise, physical activity has been shown the best factor of protection related to lifestyle. Regular physical activity changes the lipidic profile, as observed in studies with different populations with different demographical characteristics [ 2 , 3 , 5 – 8 ], and promotes positive adaptations in the distributions of subclasses of HDL-C and the functions of HDL-C in obese women [ 3 ]. Furthermore, the interventions with physical activity (aerobic/ resistant) reduce risk factors of cardiovascular diseases (fat mass, blood pressure, total cholesterol, LDL-C cholesterol), and increase HDL cholesterol [ 3 , 5 , 7 , 9 ] .…”

“…Physical activity in sports and recreation was also positively associated with HDL in the Brazilian elderly [ 5 ], however, the frequency, intensity, and duration of the exercise needed to increase the levels of cholesterol are not clearly identified [ 2 ]. If both factors (physical activity and HDL) be considered, a household vigilance study from England (between the years of 1998 and 2008) shows that if all the 37.059 participants had adhered to the physical activity guideline, would be a reduction of 4.1 new cases of deaths (cardiovascular disease mortality) in 100 habitants—that reduction represents 68.2% of the incidence in the population; also has been calculated that if all the people had a normal HDL-C, would have a reduction of 0.4 new cases of deaths in 100 habitants, that reduction represents a reduction of 6.6% of the incidence in the population [ 7 ].…”

Background The practice of regular physical activity can alter the lipid profile in populations according to diverse demographic characteristics. Objective To evaluate the association of physical inactivity with the lipid profile among vulnerable populations. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among 349 vulnerable individuals from Tocantins state, northern Brazil. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire 7 Day short form was used to measure self-reported physical activity levels. Venous blood samples were drawn to evaluate lipid profile. Logistic regression adjusted by the socioeconomic variables was used to analyse the effects of physical inactivity on the lipidic profile. The level of significance was 5% and Stata® (StataCorp, LC) version 11 was used. Results We observe an inverse relationship between physical inactivity and HDL-C—that is, those who were sedentary or below the WHO Recommendations for physical activity were at 2.6 greater odds (IC95% 1.21, 5.67; p = 0.015) of having a lower HDL compared with those meeting or exceeding WHO physical activity recommendations. Conclusion On the vulnerable populations studied, the insufficiently active or sedentary individuals (called the physical inactivity individuals) have more risk of the altered HDL-C.

“…Literature on the subject describes the influence of regular physical activity on lowering the level of triglycerides and the increased HDL cholesterol level in detail. The impact of physical activity on lowering the risk of cardiovascular diseases occurrence is contributed mainly to its positive influence on the level of lipoproteins of high density in plasma [50,51,52,53,54]. However, it needs to be emphasized that in women after their menopause, the protective activity of HDL cholesterol is probably lower that in women in their pre-menopausal period [55].…”

Introduction and objective. There is a significantly higher risk of lipid disorders occurrence, including atherogenic dyslipidemia in women after menopause than it is in general population. The aim of the work was to investigate the correlation between health behaviours and the occurrence of lipid disorders in women after menopause working in agriculture. Material and methods. The study was conducted in years 2015-2016 and included 843 post-menopausal women working in agriculture. The following were used: a questionnaire including socio-demographic data, laboratory lipid tests, inventory of health behaviours. The following were estimated: logistic regression models for serum lipids concentration versus frequency of health behaviours in the examined women. Results. Adverse lipid profile was found in over a half of post-menopausal women working in agriculture, whereas the frequency of health behaviours were estimated at the average level, although the frequency of correct eating habits and health practices was significantly lower than preventive behaviours and positive psychological attitudes. A correlation was found between the frequency of health behaviours and the occurrence of lipid disorders in women after menopause working in agriculture: more frequent health practices co-existed with the lower concentration of total cholesterol and a higher concentration of HDL-cholesterol, more frequent preventive behaviours co-existed with lower concentration of LDL-cholesterol. Women with higher concentration of triglycerides undertook pro-health practices relatively more often. Conclusions. The study revealed a high prevalence of lipid disorders in postmenopausal women working in agriculture. More effective health education programmes are necessary in the area of reduction the risk factors of CVD in the population of women working in agriculture.

“…The variables studied show a lower risk for any cause of mortality in people who maintain higher levels of physical activity or physical fitness over time when compared to those who reduce or maintain low levels of physical activity or physical fitness over time [37,38]. Some recognized benefits of participating in regular physical activity are slowing physiologic changes of aging that impair exercise capacity [37], optimizing agerelated changes in body composition [13], promoting psychological and cognitive well-being [20,39], managing chronic diseases [40], reducing the risks of physical disability [25], and increasing longevity [41].…”

To live a long and healthy life is now considered the main challenge of geriatric medicine worldwide. Exercise, aging, and health are key research topics to maintain functional ability that has been considered one of the strongest predictors of independence in old age. Functional ability comprises the interaction between physical and mental capacities in a particular environment. Increasing physical activity is considered a key recommendation in sustainable policies and action programs for healthy aging. Evidence shows that physical activity impacts functional and cognitive abilities and social activities. The contents of training courses related to Exercise Aging and Health are responsible for ensuring an intervention focused on the needs of older people. Healthcare professionals, physical activity instructors, or other health professionals who work directly with older people may need to understand deeply demography, theories, and current policies on aging, physical, and functional changes associated with aging, physical-psychosocial relationships, contextual determinants of physical activity, and exercise prescription in the older population.
